.: First week of holidays! :.

08S64 class chalet was on Monday and Tuesday. Held it at some bungalow in Pasir Ris Park and it is only $85 for 2 days 1 night. It has 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, own BBQ pit bla bla bla and is really well furnished! I think it is a great deal! The only bad thing is that it is in a rather remote section of Pasir Ris Park so might be difficult to locate and all! However, its just a class chalet thus so long as anyone who needs to be there is there, then everythings fine! Anyway, had a blast at the chalet too! This is probably the first time we as a class stayed over together and 21 out of 25 of us turned up! So it was fantabulous and great! We all rented bicycles overnight and did midnight cycling and all. Cycled to downtown east at 12 plus and literally sneaked into E Hub and sat on the floors of the quiet mall only to be chased out by some security guard who is probably working midnight! Had a great laugh though. Haha. Chalet was fun! Almost all of us stayed over too and we even played blind mice in a really small room (the guys) and it was just much laughter etc. It was like having orientation all over again with all the singing, dancing etc we need in such a carefree way! Pictures would be up soon!

Band had really officially started and there are so many things to settle! But what can one ask for if you want a full-house and present a great, memorable and a fun performance! So whoever wants to come for VJC's concert, do contact me! haha!

Next year's orientation is sounding fun! Been selected to be a Orientation Group Leader (OGL) where I heard orientation is going to be 7 days next year for the freshmen. Which also translates to 7 days of no lessons for the OGLs and 7 days of fun and games everywhere in Singapore! haha! Victoria Junior College's freshmen are going to have a blast next year!

It's so funny how almost 1 year is going to be over and it's going to be one year since I left BV and been in VJC! So many adjectives to describe what I'm feeling now. What a roller-coaster ride. Okay, i think this post sounds rather not-here-not-there. Probably because I don't know what to write so, Pardon me!

.: Holidays... not :.

Holidays are 'here'. okay not so. VJ's holiday started like 2 weeks ago but the chinese 'A' level students had to go back to school to have like chinese intensive for 2hours everyday. No doubt I really do miss my chinese class after the paper on Thursday but anyway, leaving Zhang laoshi was the most sad thing I would say for all 6 of us. Although some of us didn't like chinese, we still enjoyed chinese lessons because of all the stories, life experiences, teasing (yah... we tease our teacher about her likes for wuzun and all while she teases us back about random stuff) etc. It was so much fun. My most enjoyable time in VJC curriculum has definitely have to be in Chinese lessons! Always having so much laughter and crapping session. There was this time that she was telling us about how her son emailed her from overseas an essay in chinese which he wrote. She was saying how proud she is and we were like 'are you sure it's good?' and she went (in chinese) 'his chinese anytime also can win you 6!' lol. She just suaned us on the spot... that was what we all said but we all broke into laughter when she said that. But she's just a great and funny teacher. To give is that motivation and confidence boost, she actually called all 6 of us individually on the night before our 'A' Level paper just to wish us all the best and to remind us of all our flaws! Telling us to sleep early and just do out best. How great a teacher is she? Chinese was fun! Going to miss the chinese lesson but not the subject :D Being the Chinese Rep was fun!

Anyway, the 'A' Level Chinese paper was freaking hard! Like detastably difficult! Through the 2nd passage, I thought I was doing the wrong paper. I could not get the answers at all because all of them are so close and half the time I was guessing and hoping for the best. We'll see how it goes....

My Wonderful Teacher and her Chinese Class :)

Project Work... some major revamps to slides yesterday. The thought of PW coming to an end soon is Bitter-Sweet. Bitter because I really enjoy working with the other 4 in my group although sometimes I would get irritated but yah... we've had our fair share of laughter and slacking periods! That is why no londer having group meetings and playing cards etc. is sad. However, sweet because the thought of no longer having to edit, edit and edit, passing up drafts, and chasing for work is great. My project is about corals and sure I have gained a mountain load of insight on restoration of corals now!

My Wonderful Project Work Group!

Band is resuming soon! I hope the members are like selling their tickets! But anyways, it's going to be busy busy busy with preperation of concert on 12th December and rehearsing for skit. Not to forget, all the admin matters I have to handle. Anyway... details of VJCSB's concert!

I heard over the radio 2 days ago on a discussion with teenagers on 'what is a holiday to you?' That's something I suppose everyone has an opinion towards. even the most geeky and nerdy student would say that his holidays are not holidays because he is just burrying himself in mountain loads of homework. Less studious ones would be filling up their organizer with CCA, CCA, CCA. Others would say that holidays are the time where one can go find jobs, earn money and kill time. So there are 2 extremes... However, I feel that since Secondary School, mine is just a fair share of being occupied with CCA and homework... Of course, with a greater number of chalets, outings and spending of moeny! So, yah... holidays to me are just days where you don't have to go to school everyday for normal lessons. And that's about it. Everything else stays the same!
